Among the events of John McCain's five-and-a-half years of imprisonment and torture in North Vietnam, probably the most heroic, and surely the most celebrated, was his refusal to accept an early release from his captors.
Socialism may have failed as an economic theory, but global warming alarmism, with its dire warnings about the consequences of industry and consumerism, is equally a rebuke to capitalism.
The candidacy of Donald Trump is the open sewer of American conservatism.
Food insecurity is not remotely the same as hunger.
I wear two hats at the 'Wall Street Journal': one as a columnist, the other as the editor responsible for our editorial pages in Asia and Europe.
I almost never listen to radio or watch political talk shows, especially if I happen to be on them.
If the Republican party essentially becomes the white party, it is going to be the death of it, not only for demographic reasons but for reasons of principle. The party of Lincoln is a party of opportunity for everyone. It's a party about the right to rise, and Mr. Trump unfortunately doesn't represent that view.
I don't read 'Vanity Fair,' whose millionaire-fashionista-liberal shtick I find repellent.
I am not sorry the CIA went to the edge of the law in the aftermath of 9/11 to prevent further mass-casualty attacks on the U.S.
I am sorry that Mr. Cheney, and every other supporter of enhanced interrogation techniques, has to defend the practices as if they were torture. They are not.
Censoriously asserting one's moral superiority and treating skeptics as imbeciles and deplorables wins few converts.
Demanding abrupt and expensive changes in public policy raises fair questions about ideological intentions.
Perhaps if there were less certitude about our climate future, more Americans would be interested in having a reasoned conversation about it.
The United States can only lead a world that's prepared to follow.
Did you loathe and detest the Bush administration? If so, you'd probably say its ideas were horrible and their execution worse. Did you not loathe and detest the Bush administration? In that case, you might say its ideas were pretty good - only the execution often left something to be desired.
In place of presidential addresses, stump speeches, or town halls, we have Trump's demagogic mass rallies. In place of the usual jousting between the administration and the press, we have a president who fantasizes on Twitter about physically assaulting CNN.
The supposedly petty sexual harassment that so many women have to endure, from Hollywood studios to the factory floor at Ford, is a national outrage that needs to end. Period.
All societies make necessary moral distinctions between high crimes and misdemeanors, mortal and lesser sins.
Please spare us the self-pity about how tough it is to look for a job while living with your parents.
Ms. Rice was a bad national security adviser and a bad secretary of state. She was on the wrong side of some of the administration's biggest internal policy fights. She had a tendency to flip-flop when it came to the president's core priorities, and her political misjudgment more than once cost Mr. Bush dearly.
